Easter and All that Jazz....

Tuesday night I was lucky enough to go see the Comodores. I know that they were a little before my time but no one says that a girl can't enjoy a night on the town. Justin was kind enough to watch Katelyn and I went to the concert with Marivel. We had a good time. We just wished that Lioneld Richie had been there. Friday I took most of the day off to spend at Katelyn's school party. They changed the time to 9:15 and moved it indoors because of the weathers. I regret that I didn't get any pictures but it was really cute to see all the little kids looking for eggs in their classrooms. They all got little treat bags with lots of little toys since they don't do candy at this school. The kids really loved it and they got to eat real easter eggs. I was very surprised that Katelyn ate more eggs than anyone else.

Yesterday we went to the Church's Easter egg hunt and then to Mimi and Poppi's to paint easter eggs. This year has been so much fun with Easter because Katelyn actually knows what is going on. She wanted to visit the Easter Bunny at the mall. She can't stop hunting eggs. And she loves to paint them. At the Church party a family there also brought three ducklings. Katelyn loved them. Below are pictures.







This morning we got up early and noticed that the Easter bunny came to visit us. For weeks we have been visitng a horse named Snowflake at the Hastings animal corral (this is a large tower filled with stuffed animals in the children's book section). She would talked to her and tell her she loved her and all that stuff. One day last week she noticed that Snowflake was gone and she was so upset. So of course this morning when she found Snowflake in her easter basket she was very excited! She was very excited to put on her gorgeous princess Easter dress that Nana and grandpa Pardy sent for her. She looked so cute!

A Normal Child!

We went to Children's this week and got some really great news! Katelyn is normal! I know that sounds funny but really her swallow study was the best yet and they even told us that she could resume a normal diet and be weened from thickeners! We are so excited and so is she. The first day back to school she made three trips to the water fountain during outside play. She loves the freedom! I guess that this has made her appreciate the little things in life!

This weekend is the preschool's yard sale. I have somehow ended up as the Fundraising Chairperson and have so many things going on right now. We have a pricing party tomorrow night to sort and price all the sale items and then the sale starts bright and early (7) on Saturday morning. We are doing a change drive and have several other fundraisers in the works. This school has been so great for our family that we want to help it survive through some tough times they are having at the moment.

I hope to post some new pictures as soon as I can. I have been too busy to even take any and we really haven't gone anywhere interesting. I did go to jail for MDA yesterday but Brittany an I managed to post our bail of $3200. Thank you to everyone that pitched in! We both really appreciate it. One thing I learned is that a fundraiser for the local police department for car cleaning supplies might be in order! :)
